Podcasting: The Ill-Chosen Portmanteau

Email This Entry

Posted by Jeff De Cagna

First of all, am I the only one who LOVES the word, "portmanteau?" I just think it sounds great...thank you Wikipedia!

In today's New York Times Business section, writer Randall Stross offers a brief primer on podcasting for the uninitiated, and discusses the possible impact of Apple's embrace of podcasting on the fortunes of Audible. It's an interesting article and worth reading.

What is most intriguing to me is just how many articles there are in the print media these days about podcasting. It's amazing how much coverage something that "manages to be a double misnomer" can get from the very media it threatens. It's fantabulous!
